Weatherman Forecasts
Rain, More Rain And Then
Some For Today
The Instituto
Meteorológico Nacional
(the national
weatherman) is
predicting for today
(Friday) lots of rain,
rain and more rain, as
"tropical wave" is
expected to pass over
Costa Rica today.
Although lots of rain in
October is normal,
meteorologist Evelyn
Quirós explained that
the "onda tropical" in
Spanish is more severe
than the normal rain for
the season, today's
starting in the
Caribbean coast in the
morning and sweeping
across the country
hitting the Pacific
coast by early evening.
The weekend will see
scattered showers and
rain, rain and more
rain, but no tropical
wave, said Quirós.
The Comisión Nacional de
Emergencias (CNE) -
national emergency
commission - is
continuing the
rebuilding of some 300
homes in the city of
Cartago, east of San
José, homes that were
damaged by last weeks
downpours of the area
and overflowing of
rivers and storm sewers.
Yesterday morning the
roadway that links
Acosta with Asserri on
the south side of San
José collapsed under the
tremendous amount of
rain during the previous
days.
The rainy season is
expected to end by mid
November. October is the
worst month of the six
month rainy season. |
